There are 5.66 moles of hydrogen in the sample of talc(hydrated magnesium silicate).
Given,
Talc formula is 
moles of magnesium = 8.5 moles
The stoichiometry of magnesium and hydrogen is 3 : 2,
So 3 moles of magnesium is equivalent to 2 moles of hydrogen.
Then 8.5 moles of magnesium is equivalent to 
=5.6666 moles
<h3>Talc </h3>
Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), often known as talcum, is a type of clay mineral made up of hydrated magnesium silicate, having the formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. Baby powder is made of powdered talc, frequently mixed with corn starch. This mineral serves as a lubricant and thickening agent. It serves as a component in paint, pottery, and roofing materials. It serves as a key component in many cosmetics. It can be found as foliated to fibrous aggregates and in a remarkably uncommon crystal form. It is foliated with a two-dimensional platy form, has a flawless basal cleavage, and an irregular flat fracture.
Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), the softest mineral, is assigned a value of 1 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is based on scratch hardness comparisons.

Because its in group one....which only lose or gain electrons.....thus it will only have oneelectron to fulfill its octect rule

<h3>Explanation</h3>
The Lewis structure of a molecule describes
- the number of bonds it has,
- the source of electrons in each bond, and
- the position of any lone pairs of electrons.
Atoms are most stable when they have eight or no electrons in their valence shell (or two, in case of hydrogen.)
- Each oxygen atom contains six valence electrons. It demands <em>two</em> extra electrons to be chemically stable.
- Each sulfur atom contains six valence electrons. It demands <em>two </em> extra electrons to be chemically stable.
- Each hydrogen atom demands <em>one</em> extra electron to be stable.
H₂O contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It would take an extra 2 + 2 × 1 = 4 electrons for all its three atoms are stable. Atoms in an H₂O would achieve that need by sharing electrons. It would form a total of 4 / 2 = 2 O-H bonds.
Each O-H bond contains one electron from oxygen and one from hydrogen. Hydrogen has no electron left. Oxygen has six electrons. Two of them have went to the two O-H bonds. The remaining four become 4 / 2 = 2 lone pairs. The lone pairs repel the O-H bonds. By convention, they are placed on top of the two H atoms.
Similarly, atoms in a SO₂ molecule demands an extra 2 × 2 + 2 = 6 electrons for its three atoms to become chemically stable. It would form 6 / 2 = 3 chemical bonds. Loops are unlikely in molecules without carbon. As a result, one of the two O atoms would form two bonds with the S atom while the other form only one.
Atoms are unstable with an odd number of valence electrons. The S atom in SO₂ would have become unstable if it contribute one electron to each of the three bond. It would end up with 3 × 2 + 3 = 9 valence electrons. One possible solution is that it contributes two electrons in one particular bond. One of the three bonds would be a coordinate covalent bond, with both electrons in that bond from the S atom. In some textbooks this type of bonds are also known as dative bonds.
Dots and crosses denotes the origin of electrons in a bond. Use the same symbol for electrons from the same atom. Electrons from the oxygen atoms O are shown in blue in the sketch. They don't have to be colored.
Answer:
Potassium is more reactive than aluminium, so no reaction takes place. But aluminium is more reactive than copper, so it replaces the copper in copper nitrate
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
More reactive metal compound + less reactive metal
-> no reaction
However
Less reactive metal compound + more reactive metal
-> more reactive metal compound + less reactive metal
This is called substitution reaction where the more reactive metal replaces the less reactive metal in the compound.
